Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide....


It is just getting harder and harder for members of Bush's "Torture Team" to hide from the tough questions:


Days after telling students at Stanford University that waterboarding was legal "by definition if it was authorized by the president," former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice was pressed again on the subject yesterday by a fourth-grader at a Washington [Jewish Primary Day] School...Misha Lerner, a student from Bethesda, asked: What did Rice think about the things President Obama's administration was saying about the methods the Bush administration had used to get information from detainees?

Even more impressive, apparently the question was TONED DOWN!


Misha's mother, Inna Lerner, said the question her son had initially come up with was even tougher: "If you would work for Obama's administration, would you push for torture?...They wanted him to soften it and take out the word 'torture.' But the essence of it was the same."

The Boston Globe should hire this Misha Lerner, I'd get a subscription if I knew he was on staff!
